Have you seen the movie about that famous musician? You know the one: a prodigy with limitless potential finds that their artistic genius and inimitable persona are both a gift and a curse as they enjoy a meteoric rise, upset the musical establishment, change the world of pop music forever, then crash and burn in a supernova of drugs, alcohol and indifference.Hollywood loves to rinse and repeat.
In his first lead role, John C. Reilly is transcendent. He’s swaggering and silly and charismatic and ridiculous. Most importantly, he’s believable. He didn’t just play the role; he fully embodied the character. Reilly’s a surprisingly great singer; he played all the songs himself and even went on a real-life tour. He hits every joke and also every feeling – the result is equal parts poignant and hilarious.
In addition to Reilly’s brilliant performance, we are treated to an array of outstanding turns from some of Hollywood’s funniest people. Jenna Fisher gives a pitch-perfect send up of Reese Witherspoon’s Oscar-winning role in, Margo Martindale is fantastic as Dewey’s sympathetic mother, and Tim Meadows is a constant scene stealer as Dewey’s drummer and drug dealer.
